Question
According to your description of the child’s condition, the child has been diagnosed with the following diseases from birth to now: respiratory distress syndrome and neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. These diseases are related to the lack of pulmonary surfactant caused by prematurity. The hospital has adopted bovine lung surfactant to address these issues. Regarding the situation of neonatal hydrocephalus, how should it be handled?
Answer
The treatment for neonatal hydrocephalus requires determination based on the specific situation. Generally, for hydrocephalus caused by prematurity, non-surgical treatment methods such as dehydration therapy and comprehensive supportive treatment can be adopted. For severe cases, surgical treatment may need to be considered. However, the specific treatment plan needs to be determined by the doctor based on the child’s condition.
